  1. "Critical theory is a means of applying uninformed and cynical criticism to cause a social and political revolution. it exists to get rid of liberalism, to limit freedom, to control thought and action for our own good, which it says we can't be trusted to know. Their constant cynical criticism is a solvent that will dissolve our liberal societies if we let it. It is already dissolving them now. Again my friend Mike Naina has pointed out that nothing can long survive a persistent enough cynical critique. Not an individual, not a movement, not a piece of art, not a mass, not masculinity, not a society that has done everything it can to reject and detest racism. Not right and wrong, not an institution, not a nation, not Dungeons and Dragons, not anything. And critical theory can be applied to literally anything, absolutely anything. You don't even have to understand it. This is the truth about critical theory and we cannot let this happen. So I'm here today to warn you we are late to this fight. This is already well underway."
